Lost dreams!

I don’t really know what “dream” means. When I was a child, I wanted to buy a car some day. For me, was something impossible. I didn’t know how a thing like this happens. I ignored the process: you got a job, you save money and one day you buy a car.

Now I know, but then…

I want to say that “dream” is something different in 15 in 20 in 25… The reality makes you understand the difference between “dreams” and dreams.

Anyway!

I, personally, let my dreams go away because of my fears, my insecure, lack of money and many other reasons. And I PAY for it. And trust me, the price is very expensive.

All my life, I meet people with lost dreams. Why? More or less, for the same reasons.

Life is very tough and you must fight very hard for your rights and harder for your dreams.

I didn’t have this courage to fight. Then…

Yesterday night I met for first time some new persons. They are all much younger than me. On our way home, they start to talk about their lives. Work, work, work, work.

Now, they were not workaholics. They are obliged to work so much.

And what about life? Personal or social. What about future? What about dreams?

Silence. Nothing. White screen. Sighs. Misty eyes.

Work is an enormous trap, is a big cheat. This is the way the system works and put us in its cogwheels. We are the “stooges” in the system’s chessboard.

Maybe it sounds like cheap politics, but it is the truth.

If you work and earn a lot of money, you think that spending money is life. But the truth is that you don’t live, you just spend money. You have the most expensive car, ok, but you don’t have time to travel. You drive from home to work and vice versa. You have an incredible wardrobe. Extremely expensive accessories. So what?

Do you have a life? Do you call this life?

I think that life is something more than this. Life is walking with your friends in the street, running to protect from a sudden rain, eating in your favorite place (not necessarily expensive), drinking coffee and talk for hours about the universal problems without findings solutions…

Life is a flower from your beloved person who comes home after work, an unexpected dinner with light candles a Monday night.

Spending time doing your favorite things…

We control the Earth (at least this is what we think), we control the Air, the Outer Space, but we don’t have time to live.

The most important thing in this life is to have time to spend. This wonderful spending of time without a reason, that gives us the most pleasure in the world.

Which was the last time that you wore your snickers, to walk across the Nile just to relax and order your thoughts? Just to see the water. You don’t remember?

People miss something very important: “even the time that passes and we are waiting to live, is life”. Don’t wait to live, because life doesn’t wait!

DON’T YOU EVER LEAVE YOUR DREAMS; THEY WILL COME BACK TO TAKE REVENGE.

I don’t know. Maybe I am very old fashioned or very romantic or very unique. This is my personal opinion about life.

Passing the time and growing up, I matured. I am not so insecure anymore. I start to love myself. I don’t fear so much. I found new dreams to go after. Different from these of my youth. But I still have dreams.

I tried very hard to find them, I tried very hard to make them work and now I am not dispose to abandon them again.

“Don’t give up, Farah!” This is what Mr. Winter repeats to me every time we talk. No way Mr. Sheta.

I will make them truth whatever is the price (God willing of course).

I still have dreams!

Isn’t it GOOD LUCK?
